its been ages.. but i have a good one. straight from the mouth of korb palmer
regarding getting in trouble at school today for hitting another boy....
'i didnt hit him that hard.. its just you know how when you punch someone in the nose it makes their eyes water?' -korb palmer
ugh. boys. =(
last night at dinner korbie told us a story in the most normal everyday voice as if it were just on his mind and it cracked me up!!
wowwww! its been ages since my last rendition of he said she said. =) im sure ive missed SO many cute things..
a little history.. i love country music. wellll, i love all music, honestly. ive listened to my fair share of hiphop - when you live on the east coast you have to or they'll kill you. =) and thankfully [due to my husbands fading addiction] we dont listen to much trance/techno anymore but it is a definite requirement in this marriage to at least be aware of the likes of paul van dyk. =) and of course i have my faves that absolutely do not fall in the country category.. high school stuff like the cure, u2, rem and pearl jam. stuff from my 20s like train, stp, the offspring.. the list goes on and on.. three doors down, fuel, creed{shhhh}, coldplay {even if it makes me gay =)}.. not to mention my love affair with jimmy buffett that began in 1998 and only grows stronger with age. what makes me happy right now is eyb, charlie robison, josh abbott band, pat green, randy rogers band, bleu edmonson, bart crow, even casey donahew. when i hear my little guy singing along to this.. it makes me ridiculously happy. =)
i overheard a conversation between kennedy and korb last night thats still making me smile this morning. =)
korb: sissy, what are those spots on your face?
kennedy: well.. they are called freckles. =) and mommy gave them to me.
korb: {yelling down the stairs} MOMMY.. when i get bigger will you give me some of those freckles?
of course baby.. only im not sure you will want them once you have them. =)
a conversation between kennedy and daddy this week..
kennedy: wanna hear my new favorite saying? no chiz.
kyle: why would you ever say that? like youre trying to think of a new word for S%&T?
kennedy: no dad. its just funny. they say it on iCarly.
kyle: in what context?
kennedy: well.. like if someone says something obvious then the girls say NO CHIZ..
kyle: yea.. youre not allowed to say that. ever. k?
glad we cleared that up. iCarly.. who writes this stuff? =)
a few korb funnies that i dont want to forget too soon..
after searching for what seems like DAYS for the lock kp keeps in his gym bag for the locker room, korb and i had this hilarious conversation..
mommy: KORB - where is that lock?? think hard buddy! where did you put it?
korb: im not sure mommy.
mommy: did you hide the lock?
korb: {looking puzzled that i would EVEN SUGGEST hiding the lock} uuuuhh.. no. it isnt BROKEN.
LOL.. oh i see. he only hides things he breaks.. note to self. =)
while being super lazy at nana and papa's over thanksgiving break.. i heard this conversation between korb and daddy.
daddy: korb, can i have your loooooooooong cool hair?
korb: {giving daddy that look.} uuuhhh..no. its attached.
daddy: {giggling} OH. well, then, how do i get my hair to be long and cool like yours?
korb: {shrugging shoulders} you just have to grow it. like a plant.
LOL! like a plant? too funny. and since november chia-kp has been growing his hair.. like a plant.. =) i would love to post a picture - but he wont let me near him with the camera. maybe next month.
happy october! i failed to document.. well, if im being honest.. much of anything during the summer {sorry nana & gran-gran}. im hoping fall is a different story. and to start things off.. a little he said she said. {aka silly things my kids have said to me lately that made me laugh out loud. literally.}
korb: {soon after getting home from preschool and while zipping his pants leaving the bathroom} mommy, did you know that there are actually little balls inside the hangy part of my business?
mommy: lol. actually.... ??
now please excuse me while i text your dad about your discovery. he will be so proud. =)
kennedy: {a few weeks into her 4th grade career} mommy, most of the girls in my class are wearing bras this year. when do you think i will need a bra?
mommy: um. honestly. need one? it will probably be a while.
like when she's 25 and finally buys herself a nice rack.. =)
time to resume a little segment i like to call a little he said she said.. it should really be a daily thing. the k's crack me up EVERYDAY with out fail. sometimes its proof they are little geniuses. =) and sometimes just reminders of their innocence.
knp after i told him that we HAVE to find a new teenage sitter {our favorite moved away =(}
mommy: korb we HAVE to find a new sitter!
korb: can you just get jarrod saltalamacchia?
lol. somehow i dont think he's available this friday night..
knp after walking as far as he could walk at the softball game and then begging to be carried.
mommy: korb i have to put you down. im not going to make it.
korb: mommy. hang in there. i prooooomise. you WILL make it. just keep walking.
um.. why didnt i think of saying that to him? WHY?
ksw after learning of mj's death.
kennedy {crying over the phone}: mom. did you hear that michael jackson died?
mommy: i did sweetheart. dad and i were worried about how you would hear. dad tried to call you. we know you loved him.
kennedy {crying}: i was at school. the teachers and i were upset and all the other kids were looking at us like we were crazy.
mommy: aw. im sorry kenners. im glad that you understand the significance. we understand why youre upset.
kennedy {still crying}: thank you for worrying about me mom. i knew you would understand. i should have pretended like i didnt know so that you or dad could tell me.
lol. if only we could always hear news {good or bad} from the right people.
on tuesday evening, kennedy and i attended open house at her school. her teacher is great.. we talk often. no surprises. we looked thru all of her things. had a stroll thru the classroom and then we were off. on the way out the door we heard some other kids talking about college day later this week. 'we are supposed to wear something from our favorite school'.. the little kid informed me. when i asked what she was going to wear.. she said with a smile, 'my dirk university sweatshirt.' i laughed out loud. go mavs.
this morning i was on the phone with kp.. filling him in on the details of a very sad story. more tragedy in the life of someone i love dearly. its so hard not to be able to help.. fix.. when someone is hurting. ya know? anyway.. i was telling kp that i HATE that my sister cannot seem to catch a break. life keeps throwing her one challenge after another. she is so strong.. but when is enough enough?
korb had definitely been listening in on my conversation with his dada and when i hung up we had our own conversation that went something like this:
korb: mommy, my auntie jenny cant catch a break.
mommy: i know, korbie. i hate it.
korb: she needs a break mommy.
mommy: i know korb.
korb: she needs to go to a mavs game.
mommy: she does?
korb: yes. she needs to sit really close. and watch dirk make baskets. and call for champ the horsie to come over. that will make her happy.
hmmmm... lesson learned. he is very thoughtful... in a boy-sort-of way. i guess he knows what would make him feel better when he needs a break. :)
love you lots, jenny. things are going to get better..
i dont do a very good job at blogging every day stuff. SO i thought i would try to make it a point to record some of the funny stuff my kids say to me more often! and i should note the pics have nothing to do with anything.. just a couple of my recent favs that i havent posted.
